What To Wear For Every Summer Event

Destination Wedding

A destination wedding in the sun is an ideal location for a statement look like gold tweed. We’ve chosen an Italian cotton-blend for our jumpsuit + jacket, which is woven with neutral-toned thread and metallic fibres, creating a muted metallic finish and a soft glow. More lightweight than traditional tweeds, these pieces have an ultra-soft feel against the skin thanks to the viscose lining.

The Event Ready Jumpsuit features classic fringing around the neckline, bodice and waist, which highlights the slim fit, before flaring into wide-cut legs complete with pressed front pleats for streamlined structure. 

Ideal for cooler-evening receptions, the matching jacket has a neat collarless neckline which lines up seamlessly with layers underneath. Cleverly designed slightly cropped bracelet-length sleeves keep your accessories on display (and avoid possible snagging between the jewellery and fabric). 

Enjoy the same sun-reflecting shimmer in a more earthy tone with our Golden Olive Green halterneck dress. It’s made from lightweight silk satin that’s draped around the neckline and fitted with an elasticated shirred back, before falling to a fluid bias-cut skirt. Complement the streamlined proportions with the Intelligent Oversized Blazer. 

If managing high temperatures is your main wedding outfit concern, then look to our new cheesecloth pieces that balance practical breathability with dress-up or down adaptability. Our Shadow Paradise print dress is made from lightweight cotton cheesecloth, intelligently designed with an elasticated waistband for AM-PM comfort and an adjustable neckline for customisable coverage.

Graduation Ceremony

Tailoring is always a reliably smart option for special occasions. And there’s something about a crisp suit like this season’s Vanilla tailoring that feels particularly on theme for a studious celebration. Comprised of a Contour Seamed Evening Blazer and Summer Flare Pant, these pieces are made from viscose tailoring fabric with a balance of stretch and structure, perfect for creating the flatting sculpted look while retaining all-day comfort.

One of our key textures this season is seersucker, which happens to be a hero fabric when it comes to sophisticated day-to-night dressing - perfect for a daytime ceremony that turns into a celebratory dinner.

A bold color for a special occasion never goes amiss, and you get double points for being easy to spot in the audience with our Lipstick Red midi shirt dress. Made from textured seersucker, this style unites the feminine look of puffed sleeves and a dropped hem with subtly utilitarian features like gold buttons and flap pockets.

Hosting at Home

It’s the time of year we make the most of lighter, longer evenings with alfresco dining and summer BBQs, and if you’re the one hosting, then finding the right balance of put-together and functional is key. 

Enjoy the ease of summer denim with an elevated edge courtesy of this season’s Pussybow Hatlerneck Tie Top + Tailored Culotte co-ord. Both pieces are made from our lightest-weight denim, which has a blend of linen and cotton fibres for a soft feel and enhanced breathability. The pussybow ties can be knotted at the back, or completely removed if you want to avoid the risk of draping in the dip.

Low-effort, high-impact looks like our Crease Less Linen capsule is ideal when you’re balancing the needs of hosting. The minimal mix-and-match pieces include a buttoned top, waistcoat, wide-leg pant and shorts, all made in an innovative linen and viscose blend that combines each fibre’s respective breathable and fluid qualities.

If your go-to summer staple is a throw-on dress, then look to our fit-and-flare dress in Light Pop Blue. The seams are intelligently placed to have a flattering contoured effect, creating a fitted waist that’s complemented by the flared sleeves and hem. Add the tie belt if you want to further cinch the silhouette.

Wedding in the Country

It doesn’t get much more quintessentially British Summertime than a wedding in the country. Whether it’s a traditional country house ceremony or a more rustic affair, look to this season’s regal blue tones or a vibrant floral print for a classic look.

In our eye-catching Pop Blue shade, our Crinkle Silk Maxi Dress has feminine ruffles at the shoulder and a fitted under-bust panel, before flaring into a full skirt. If you love the color but prefer a little more arm coverage, look to the Cap Sleeve Midi Dress made from statement lace. Both dresses are fully lined for coverage, and both styles have a fitted waist, which means they style seamlessly with our perfectly proportioned crop jackets.

Summer Parties

As we Brits know, summer is reason enough to throw a party. So whatever the celebration may be, from the annual work drinks to a curated garden affair, choose a look that matches the energy of the occasion. 

A soft yellow shade and equally soft cheesecloth fabric come together in this Mellow Yellow dress. Horizontal ruching panelling the bodice and the drop hem adds gentle volume, while mid-length puffed sleeves and a long hemline mean it can be adapted to most summer dress codes.

Enjoy the comfort of a T-shirt and the elevated quality of a dress with our Shadow Floral print style. The bold orange and pink palette is balanced by the blocky, abstract print and intelligently placed side ruching creates a flatteringly slim fit bodice.

Continuing the bold orange theme with one of our summer staples - the cheesecloth top. This light and breezy top is made from cotton with delicate floral trims along the chest, then flared to a relaxed swing shape. Maintain a laid-back yet polished mood with the Easy Summer Short in soft white wash.
